While Tre Harris was one of many second-round picks to remain unsigned through mid-July, the rookie made headlines when he was a no-show during the start of Chargers training camp. Well, the unofficial holdout is over, as NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that the rookie wideout has agreed to terms on his rookie deal.
Harris spent three seasons at Louisiana Tech to begin his college career, including a 2022 campaign where he compiled 935 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. He maintained that production after transferring to Ole Miss ahead of the 2023 season. In 20 games across the past two campaigns, the wideout hauled in 114 catches for 2,015 yards and 15 touchdowns.
That performance wasn’t enough to vault him into the first round, but he still managed to be the seventh WR off the board when the Chargers selected him with the 55th-overall pick in this year’s draft. The recent holdout meant Harris’s NFL career didn’t get off to the best start, but since he wasn’t under contract, he won’t be subject to any fines from the organization.
Harris should immediately have an opportunity to contribute in Los Angeles. The team has used early-round picks at the WR position in each of the past three drafts, and the rookie should join Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston in the starting lineup. Harris should also have a bit less competition for that gig following Mike Williams‘ sudden retirement, a move that left the Chargers with the likes of Jalen Reagor, Derius Davis, and rookie fifth-round pick KeAndre Lambert-Smith as depth options.
Like most teams, the Chargers’ second-round selection represented their only unsigned draft pick. With today’s move, the team has officially signed their entire 2025 draft class:
